Full Sturgeon Moon Paddle – Friday Night on the River: Spend your Friday night the Petaluma way—on the water, under the moon, and in great company. Join The Floathouse Petaluma for a guided Full Sturgeon Moon Paddle on the Petaluma River, known locally as Petaluma’s Longest Park.

This late-summer full moon is named for the ancient sturgeon that once sustained Native communities and signaled a seasonal shift. We’ll launch just before sunset, glide through the calm tidal slough as evening settles in, and watch the moon rise from the best seat in town—the water.

Settle into our deluxe Hobie pedal kayaks, designed to keep you dry, comfortable, and relaxed as you unwind from the week. This gentle, guided experience is as much about wellness as it is about fun: slowing down, breathing deeply, sharing a special night outdoors, and often meeting new friends along the way.

A perfect Friday-night experience for visitors and locals alike—no boating experience required.
